this answer happen when you don’t add your username (or make a mismake) in allowedUser : ['<your Telegram username without @>'],
I think wiki can help you

@bugsounet - I have tried all (see picture) non of them gives me any proper result or ID - to me “Jstal_bot” should be the correct name. See config details But I also tried “Johan” and “MyMirrorBot”.

{
  module: 'MMM-TelegramBot',
  position: 'top_center',
  config: {
    telegramAPIKey : '2blablabla ..... = key I got from botfather',
    allowedUser : ['Jstal_bot'], // This is NOT the username of bot.
  }
},

??? allowedUser : [‘Jstal_bot’], // This is NOT the username of bot. <---- it’s YOUR username ! (and NOT your Nickname …)
